Manchester United's scouting system plunged into chaos as hackers access 'confidential information on targets and scouting missions' during ongoing cyber-attack with less than five weeks until the January transfer window opens

Further details relating to Manchester United's ongoing cyber attack have emerged as the club's scouting system is plunged into chaos with hackers accessing confidential information on targets and scouting missions, The Mirror reports.

Sportsmail revealed this week that the Premier League club were being held to ransom for millions of pounds by criminal hackers who have crippled the club's systems.

United have brought in a team of technical experts in a bid to contain the potentially 'disastrous' attack, although it is believed that the hackers still have a firm grip after the National Cyber Security Centre on Thursday night confirmed they are helping the club to resolve the crisis.
